Kansas might let homes take more toddlers amid child care shortage
TOPEKA - Corinne Carr has about a half dozen seven parents the waiting list to enroll their children in her home day care business. Changes pending with state regulators would let her take in more children, but she’s not headed in that direction. “I don’t feel that it’s safe for the children,” she said. Currently, a child care operation with two workers can take in four children younger than 18 months. Now the state is looking at loosening the rules so that family child care providers with just one worker could look after up to four toddlers, or children under 12 months old, at once and still enroll two children between the ages of 1 and 5 years old That could mean one person could be caring for six children younger than 18 months.
Neal leads Kansas past No. 18 Oklahoma State, 37-16
LAWRENCE (AP) — Devin Neal ran for 224 yards and a touchdown and had 110 receiving yards, leading Kansas past No. 18 Oklahoma State 37-16 on Saturday. The Jayhawks (6-3, 3-3 Big 12 Conference) are bowl eligible for the first time since 2008 when they beat Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl. “I’m really proud of our guys and our staff,” Kansas coach Lance Leipold said. “To be able to do something like this is pretty special.” Kansas’ ground game led the way with 351 yards as a team with Neal setting career highs in both rushing and receiving yards against the Cowboys (6-3, 3-3).
Robinson stars as Texas holds off No. 13 K-State, 34-27
MANHATTAN (AP) — Two weeks ago, Texas let a game against Oklahoma State slip away in the fourth quarter. The Longhorns weren’t about to let it happen again. After riding Bijan Robinson to a 3110 halftime lead at Kansas State, then watching the No. 13 Wildcats come roaring back down the stretch, the Longhorns’ defense stepped up one last time. Keondre Coburn stripped Adrian Martinez near midfield with 34 seconds to go, Jaylan Ford pounced on the loose ball and Texas escaped with a 34-27 victory Saturday night. “We just understood that we’re not going to lose again on the road. That’s when the fight came out,” said Robinson, who ran for 209 yards and a score. “The defense came up clutch. They understood that they had to put the game on their backs and they had to stop them and execute and that’s what they did.”
